It allows for a variety of inspections using the same control unit, cables and related accessories."
The CA-ZOOM PTZ System remains the only inspection device in its class to offer an integrated image capture and management tool.

This integrated hardware and software platform allows users to easily view, screen capture and organize a variety of images for in-the-field or off-site assessment. It features the hand-held controller equipped with a large full VGA-resolution LCD monitor (16.0cm / 6.4 in) as well as dual joysticks to control camera pan and tilt, and menu navigation. Buttons control zoom, focus, lighting, image brightness and menu control for image management. In addition, the system is housed in a portable shipping and storage case; the system is ready for operation within 30 seconds of initial set-up.
The iVIEW features also include advanced imaging controls, including freeze-frame, image save, split screen, image invert, image recall, audio and text annotation, laser-based measurement, file management and onscreen control of a remote digital video recorder. The iVIEW software is easily upgradeable and the system is compatible with iVIEW Remote, which provides full remote control capability of the CA-ZOOM PTZ-6.0 system from a PC in a remote location.
In addition to the standard hand-held controller, camera control unit / processor and camera, several accessories and enhancements are available. Depending on inspection needs, users can equip their system with extended cable reels, a second hand-held controller, extension poles, tripods, mini DV digital recorder or other video recording device, laser measurement and keyboard.
